How old do you need to be to rent a car in Georgia?

I’m traveling down to Atlanta this summer, but I also want to visit Savannah while I’m there. Flying is far too expensive, so I’m going to rent a car—I just want to make sure that it’s a possibility because I’m only 23. In Georgia, how old do you need to be to rent a car?

Savannah
is a beautiful town and well worth the trip from Atlanta. Fortunately, you only need to be 21 years old to rent a car in
Georgia
, so you shouldn’t have any issues reserving a car.
However, because you’re below the age of 25, you may face restrictions on the type of car you can rent and be subject to a young driver surcharge. This helps the car rental company limit risk.
Keep in mind that your personal car insurance typically covers your rental car, so there’s no need to buy
rental car insurance
if you already have a personal policy.
Traveling to Georgia or anywhere else is always a little bit more fun if you can give yourself the five-star treatment. So if you want to make your trip extraordinary, download the
